Supernatural Death Note

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Six: Guests for Supper

"Sam, I need to talk to you before we go out there."

The younger Winchester had been so involved in the story, he jumped when he heard his brother's voice break the silence. "Damn...sure, what's up?"

"We have company coming, ya know? Anyway, there's this elderly lady and her grandson. His name is Andy. He's got a birth defect and has parents that did him wrong...abused him, Sam. Anyway, the grandmother is getting too old to care for him. I hoped we...hell, I don't know."

There was a knock at the doors and Ben was asking them to come join everyone. Dean looked up at his brother, and Sam could see his eyes were glistening. His brother gave him a small smile and headed to the door. "Let's go meet our company, Sammy."

He put a bookmark in the book and fell into step with his brother. "What's his name?"

"I only know it's Andy. I didn't get his last name or his Grandmother's."

He nodded. "Let's see what happens," he told his brother. "Must be something special to capture your attention like that."

Dean lowered his head and mumbled something.

Sam laughed. "Try it again?"

"He...well...he reminds me of you, Sammy."

He paused at that, turning to look at his brother. "How so?"

"You were this skinny little kid, Sammy. Smart as whip, but you were hurting. Other than me and Bobby, when we got to see him, you had nobody, Sam. You never had Mom. Hell, neither of us had Dad much. Andy's parents abused him. He's got an old grandma. When she goes, who's gonna want a kid with a brace and a cane?"

A look of understanding reached his face. "I can't wait to meet him," he said softly.

Dean opened the door to the main room, and they entered. He stood looking around at everyone. Most of them were on the patio or in the main kitchen. He took a deep breath, looking for two women, Lisa and Sarah.

Both were setting the table as Bobby fussed over the grill, getting the coals ready to cook the meat.

Sam watched his brother look around and hesitate. He walked over to the darker of the two and put his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him, laying his chin on her shoulder and whispering in her ear. He looked over at Sarah and whispered "Hi, Sarah. I heard cars?"

"I was about to head out to say hi," Sarah said to her future brother in law.

"Why don't all four of us go? Doc should be here and Nancy has a special friend. There's a couple of other people I want us all to meet."

The group nodded, following Dean out to the car.

The doctor was getting out of the back seat, helping a young boy get out of the car.

Dean strolled over. "Hey, Doc," he said as he squatted down until he was eye to eye with the young boy. "You must be Andy?" Dean held out a large hand toward the much smaller one that wasn't holding a cane.

Sam assisted the older woman out of the car, watching as the little one shyly shook his brother's hand. "Hi," he whispered, blushing and looking wide eyed at his grandmother.

Dean smiled and looked at the elderly woman with Sam. Another car pulled up and Dean saw Nancy in the passenger seat but didn't get a look at the person driving. "My name is Dean and that's my brother, Sam, with your grandma. The lady behind me is Lisa. The lady with my brother is Sarah."

The elderly woman carefully made her way to where her grandson was, leaning heavily against Sam's arm. "I'm Elsbeth. Thank you for the invitation," she said softly.
